The Ericksons, sisters Bethany Valentini and Jenny Kochsiek, recently released their third album, The Wild, a collection of 11 songs recorded at Justin Vernon’s April Base Studios. Their music is both heart-wrenching and uplifting, rooted in folk, tinged with country and blues, and woven together with impeccable, haunting harmonies. “A sister act originally born as a healing way out of a personal tragedy, the Ericksons have maintained their stark, soul-baring, go-to-the-light tone while stretching out musically on a record that should bring them into the spotlight,” wrote City Pages. The Star-Tribune lists The Wild among the ten "Best Minnesota albums of the year (so far)."
